His rack looks like maybe a 2.5-3.5 year old animal, however he has a pretty good sway in his back which is typical among older bucks. Maybe an old guy beyond his prime?

Rick, those horns are hardly the horns of a buck past his prime. They have long tines, the beginning of greatness in mass is evident but not yet fulfilled. He's just a young guy on his way up. Too much symetry for an over the hill member.

The property used to have some huge bucks in it but once the landowner sold it the guy who owns it now decides to shoot everything and it messed up the herd. So that's a nice buck for this place. Hopefully he made it through WWIII last November.

Ok, I think he is 2 1/2, but just maybe a 1 1/2.

According to some of these guys that must be a fawn.

He's got a nice rice rack and it looks like a 8 pointer to me.
I would have to say he's already three in that picture.
Hope you get this fall good luck.

2 1/2??? From a button buck to that 8. I say 3 1/2 and I'm always right.
You skipped a year. 1 1/2 is when he will show antlers for the first time. I'll say 2 1/2 for my answer. But, I'm not "always right".
